Angel really has the problem of starting stories even though she has others to do. Whoops, Muse will not be denied.
Disclaimer: Do I look like JK Rowling or Eoin Colfer. No, I didn't think so.
Chapter 1
When Harry stumbled through the door a year after Artemis had been revived, Artemis let him in without question. He had taken care of Harry, healed him up, dealt with the screaming nightmares five days of the week, and Holly had been shocked at the gentleness she hadn't known Artemis possessed. When Harry was fully healed did he start 'earning his keep', despite protest from everyone else. Some days Harry would rant for hours about the injustice of it all, about how he saved them all, only to be betrayed by them, and Artemis would listen because that was all Harry needed from him at that time. Then, other days, Harry would sit quietly and stare at nothing, and Artemis would sit with him and try to fill in the gap that was left, 'cause that was what Harry really needed. Then Harry gave Artemis a partially destroyed Time Turner and Artemis started experimenting. And that leads us to today.
Harry saw the Time Turner on Artemis' desk and, despite his common sense, began messing with it.
"Harry, don't touch it! It's at a critical stage and anything could set it off."
"Too late." In that moment, three things happened. Artemis touched Harry's arm, the Time Turner glowed bright gold, and Magic entered Artemis' veins. Then a white haze enveloped their vision and they succumbed to unconsciousness.
Time is a finicky thing. When one timeline's flame dissappears, another one's bursts upwards and the rest is in flux.
When they awoke they were in a white room with nothing else in it. Then they heard a voice.
"Hello children. It appears you are in my domain. And that gives you two choices. Go forward or Go back. You cannot stay where you were. Even if you could the Ministry would find you." They both understood the implications of each statement, they could either die a bit more permanently, or they could go back and save the world, along with a little revenge, too. Knowing that Harry had a hero complex and the fact that Artemis could not leave the kid alone for five minutes without the possibility of the world ending, Artemis could guess what Harry was going to say.
"We'll go back." Called it.
"I figured as much. Harry, you are now Orion Murphy, and Artemis, you can keep your first name hut your last name will be Jackson. You are both half-bloods from Ireland that were home schooled until your parents sadly passed from Yellow Fever. You are in second year. Have fun, and cause some general havoc for me." Then darkness overcame their vision an they were embraced by the cold arms of sleep.
Angel knows this is short but this is a prologue and the next chapter will be longer. Angel promises.
